Golf positioning and retrieving device
The invention is a golf positioning and retrieving device. The device includes a housing comprising a movable carrier, a biasing member coupled to the carrier, and a pair of opposed spoons pivotably connected to the carrier. The spoons include an open configuration and a closed configuration to selectively grasp or release an object, such as a golf ball and/or golf tee. A handle coupled to the housing includes a pair of triggers operatively connected to the carrier such that actuation of the trigger displaces the carrier against the biasing member, thereby moving the spoons between configurations. The device further includes a tripod selectively deployable by the second trigger to support the device in a freestanding orientation. The device allows a user to position a tee and ball, retrieve a ball from the ground or a cup, and remove a tee, without bending or stooping.
